Genus Stegomyia. Jy51 
but the head and thoracic scales although the same general form 
are not so large as in the other two species. I see no reason, 
however, to separate it from that genus.

Genus STEGOMYIA. Theobald (1901). 
Mono. Culicid. I., 283 (1901), III., 130 (1903), and IV., 170 (1907), Theobald. 
Thirty-six species are now known in this genus. It seems to 
occur in the warmer temperate climates, sub-tropics and over all 
the tropics. 
A number of allied genera come around it and they keep on 
increasing in number, at the same time new species of true 
Stegomyia continue to be found. One or two still left in this 
genus may have to be excluded when fresh material is examined. 
For instance, S. crassipes, Yan der Wulp, I feel sure does not 
belong here, but I have not received any fresh material myself.

A. Proboscis banded.
